Memories Fade, Digital Doesn't.

The history of all the world's difficulty with different video color formats began in 1953 when the world started the shift from black and white television to color.

To make sure the entire world didn't have to go through a major hardware overhaul to watch television the authorities and technicians in charge of broadcasting developed systems which would effectively allow the signals which dictated which colors were shown to be transmitted in the gaps between signals being sent to black and white televisions.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR VIDEO FRAME RATES IS WHAT WE DO IN OUR KIDLINGTON STUDIO:

NTSC -
The analog video color format used to broadcast television signals through North America, half of South America and parts of Asia. It operates on a 60Hz power grid, displays 30 picture frames per second and 525 lines of information per picture.

PAL -
The analog video color format used to broadcast television signals through much of Europe, Asia, Oceania, half of South America and parts of Africa. It operates on a 50Hz power grid, displays 25 picture frames per second and ties in 625 lines of information with every frame.

SECAM -
The analog video color format used in France, parts of Africa and much of Eastern Europe (in conjunction with PAL transmissions).

Format -
The way information is arranged to allow it to be sent to, and understood by, different devices

Transmitter -
Device that sends out electronic signals to other devices(receivers). In this case a camera is an example of a transmitter.
